Undoubtedly, no player has had more impact on Atletico Madrid in the past decade than Antoine Griezmann, who became the top scorer of the club last season. However, the World Cup winner could play his last matches in European football, after he had called his international career last August.
Griezmann is a crucial part of Diego Simeone's side since he returned to Los Rojiblancos from Barcleona, and in many cases their best player. However, there was some disappointment in the Spanish media when Griezmann could not focus on their crucial series of matches against Real Madrid and Barcelona. He will get another chance to do this at the beginning of April in the second stage of Atletico's Copa del Rey Semi-Final with the Blaugrana with the Blaugrana.
However, reports from the Spanish capital claim that he could play his last games in the Metropolitano. Earlier in the season it was reported that Atletico will not disrupt his decision and let him leave this summer, despite having a contract until 2026. Likewise there is others talking that he is in conversations with Los Angeles FC about a potential switch.
Now Cadena Ser says that it is 'more and more likely' that this is his last season in the club, partly because of the level of his game and the chance that he will get out of the team. However, he will communicate his future to the club in the coming weeks, with the decision time approaching.
His destination would be Major League Soccer and Griezmann has made no secret of his wish to play football in the United States in the past or now in the United States. At a certain level it felt as if the signing of Julian Alvarez was the arrival of the player who will be a franchise player for the coming seasons.
